The Bridge to Self-Sufficiency takes a comprehensive approach to improving women’s lives, as a person is far more likely to achieve economic independence if they look across all areas of life, rather than tackling one area alone.
The five key pillars offer a framework that set a strong foundation for women to transition out of the cycle of poverty and achieve actionable goals and sustain behavorial changes that will positively change the trajectory of their lives.
